The development

Platform is pleased to present Priors Hall, a brand new collection of one, two and three-bedroom houses for sale as part of the larger Priors Hall Park scheme, built by Taylor Wimpey.

Nestled within 907 acres of beautiful parkland, Priors Hall Park represents a new destination for Northamptonshire. This new community is just minutes from the centre of Corby and offers truly modern living amidst landscaped, stunning green spaces.

While Priors Hall Park - and Priors Hall - is designed to be a self-sustaining neighbourhood with three primary schools, a secondary school, a district centre, employment space and leisure areas all on-site, it’ll also benefit from its proximity to Weldon and Corby.

Priors Hall is made up of one, two and three-bedroom homes, all of which are located in zone two, a highly desirable part of the scheme.

Offering modern designs built using sustainable practices, each home at Priors Hall is a blank canvas, ready and waiting for residents to make their own. Spacious, open-plan layouts guarantee a great first impression whilst contemporary fixtures and fittings ensure a high standard of living.

As part of our commitment to sustainability, Priors Hall will make use of energy-efficient features, designs and building practices wherever possible, such as double glazing or air source heat pumps.

When we look at this as one package, it’s easy to see why Priors Hall is set to be one of our standout developments and an incredibly popular destination for homebuyers in Northamptonshire.

Discover Corby, Northamptonshire

Corby is one of the fastest-growing towns in Northamptonshire, with a population of around 70,000. Originally starting life as a smaller village, rapid expansion due to a growing industrial sector, plus a sustained programme of regeneration, means the village is now a thriving town with a broad range of amenities for homebuyers.

The town centre itself has everything you’d expect from a town of its size. Shoppers will find high-street staples such as H&M and Pandora in Willow Place Shopping Centre, whilst those after a few drinks will find cosy locals, chain pubs and relaxed cafes.

If you’re looking for something to do, the centre of Corby is also home to the Savoy Cinema and the Corby Cube, which hosts a full programme of events including live music, comedy shows and theatre productions.

Getting in and out of Corby is easy thanks to the town’s train station, completed in 2009, which offers direct links to places such as Market Harborough, Northampton, Kettering and Peterborough. The town also has a robust bus network, as well as easy access to the A43, A1 and A17.

  • Kettering: 8 minutes (by train)
  • Oundle: 20 minutes (by car)
  • Market Harborough: 23 minutes (by car)
  • Peterborough: 38 minutes (by car)
  • Northampton: 43 minutes (by car)
  • London St Pancras: 74 minutes (by train)

On the outskirts of Corby, you’ll find Weldon, a suburban village that offers a much more relaxed vibe. Home to plenty of independent businesses, local shops and plenty of green spaces, this is ideal if you’re taking the dog for a walk on a lazy Sunday or out enjoying one of the many cycle trails.

Weldon is particularly popular with families due to its low crime rate and relaxed pace of life. The schools near Weldon, and Priors Hall, are also excellent. There are 33 schools in and around the wider Corby area, 31 of which are rated ‘Good’, while Maplefields Academy is rated ‘Outstanding’.

Local Area Information

Corby has around 33 schools in the nearby area, comprising both primary and secondary schools. 31 of the schools are rated ‘Good’, whilst 1 one of the schools is rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted.

The closest schools to the development are located within the Priors Hall Park scheme itself. The finished site will have three primary schools, a secondary school and a nursery, meaning children of all ages are well catered for.

Corby train station is the main rail hub for the development, providing direct access to major destinations such as Northampton, Peterborough, Kettering and London St Pancras.

In terms of the local road network, it’s easy to get around. The development is near the A43, which offers further links to the A1, A47 and A14.

Corby is near two major airports. Both East Midlands Airport and Luton Airport are just over an hour away by either car or train.

In terms of leisure and entertainment, Priors Hall benefits from being near Corby. You’ll find events at Corby Cube, the latest blockbusters at the Savoy Cinema complex, a range of leisure centres and several historic stately homes all nearby.

For shoppers, there’s plenty to browse. Willow Place Shopping Centre sits at the heart of the town and has all of the high-street names you’d expect, whilst retail parks around the town’s outskirts house big names such as NEXT and The Range.

If you’re looking for something to eat or drink, there’s no shortage of great spots. The town centre is home to a range of different restaurants offering various cuisines such as Italian, Indian and Greek, as well as highly-rated takeaways if you fancy a night in. There’s also an array of both chain and local pubs, with one particular highlight being The Shoulder of Mutton, a CAMRA pub in Weldon.

Why Choose Shared Ownership in Northamptonshire?

Shared Ownership is ideal if you’re unable to buy a home on the open market - it provides the opportunity to buy a share in a property on a part buy/part rent basis, meaning you pay a subsidised rent on the part you don’t own. 

Over time, you can then buy more shares in the property via a process known as staircasing. This can be done at any time, meaning you have complete flexibility over your own home ownership. 

With Shared Ownership, deposit amounts are typically lower than purchasing a property on the open market and the combined cost of mortgage payments - plus subsidised rent - is often cheaper than privately renting in the area.

Frequently asked questions

Most buyers who can’t afford to buy a home outright can apply to buy through shared ownership.

We may also be able to help if you need to move because of a relationship breakdown or if your work requires you to live in an area outside your price range.

In order to buy through the Shared Ownership scheme, you must be able to demonstrate that you can afford and sustain home ownership. If you proceed with Shared Ownership you will be required to undertake an affordability assessment.

You must meet our adverse credit policy, if you have a history of adverse credit you are unlikely to be accepted depending on individual circumstances.

Shared owners still have to pay many of the usual costs involved in buying a home.

Reservation fee

We will ask you for a £250 deposit to reserve your chosen home. When the sale goes through we put this towards your purchase payments. However, we cannot refund it if the sale does not go through.

Mortgage deposit and fees

Most mortgage lenders will ask for a 5% or 10% deposit towards the price of the share you want to buy. They are also likely to charge a valuation fee and administration fees.

Legal fees

Solicitors’ charges can vary so it is best to get a few estimates. You will also have to pay Land Registry and local search fees, and may have to pay stamp duty depending on the value of the property.

After you've moved in

You also need to budget for the ongoing costs of owning a home.

Mortgage repayments

You will have to make monthly mortgage repayments to your lender. Depending upon the type of mortgage you have, these repayments may vary as interest rates change.

Rent

You pay a subsidised monthly rent to us on the share of your home which we own. The amount is reviewed on the 1st April each year.

Service charges

You will have to pay a small charge if your home has any facilities or communal areas which we maintain, such as shared entrance halls, lighting and grounds. Your service charge will also include your buildings insurance and your management fee.

Household bills

These include your council tax and utility bills for water, gas and electricity.

Repairs

We will arrange for any defects on new-build homes to be repaired during a set time period. After that time has elapsed, you will be responsible for arranging and paying for all repairs to your home.

Home contents insurance

We provide buildings insurance with the cost of your service charge but this does not cover your belongings. We strongly recommend you arrange your own home contents insurance.

Much will depend on your other financial commitments and what property/share you want to buy. We don't want you to be overstretched, so we need to be sure that you can afford to pay your mortgage and rent. We look at each application individually and will advise you on your options.

Shared ownership schemes are backed by government funding to help people on smaller incomes. So you will not qualify for most shared ownership schemes if your household income is less than £10,000 or more than £80,000 a year.

On the property listings for some of our shared ownership homes, you will see that we state a local connection to the area is required.

This generally applies in rural areas and small villages where land has been made available specifically for affordable housing to meet the needs of local people, rather than for private development.

These are known as ‘rural exception sites’ or 'protected areas' and are controlled by ‘Section 106 Agreements’. They aim to help local people and families afford homes in the area where they grew up.

The local connection criteria can vary between different developments, but is usually based on the following:

applicant was born in the area and has lived there for a number of years

applicant has permanently lived in the area for a number of years

applicant used to live in the area for a number of years but had to move away because of the lack of affordable housing

applicant has been permanently employed in the area for a number of years

The number of years is usually between 2 and 5, although this differs by local authority

Usually priority is given to applicants with a local connection to the parish. If there are still properties remaining, allocation will be opened up to surrounding parishes and then to the whole of the local authority area. This ensures that the homes are occupied by residents as local to the area as possible.

If you want to find out more about the local connection criteria for a particular development, or check if you qualify, please email sales@platformhg.com

Yes you can, once you have moved into your Shared Ownership property, providing you can afford it, you are able to buy more of your home through the process of Staircasing.
